I just heard on the radio that today is National Sour Candy Day. And it took me back to the beginning of the pandemic. Not the sour candy – but celebrating a weird holiday. Remember when Covid started and we couldn’t keep our days straight? Well, I started a morning message to my team saying good morning and giving them something to celebrate each day. Mostly the things we “celebrated” were weird holidays like National Sour Candy Day.
As the weeks and months of work from home went on, my team told me that they enjoyed the morning message. It gave us a bit of normalcy and let us virtually say good morning to each other and often sparked conversations via our team channel. I give it credit for my team engagement scores growing through the years of Covid.
So while I’m not a big fan of sour candies myself, I wish you the happiest of National Sour Candy Days! Learn more – and find other odd holidays to celebrate – here:
